App Store Update: October 9

Every day hundreds of new apps make their debut on the App Store, and hundreds more are updated or reduced in price. We have sifted through the noise and highlighted those select few that might be worth your attention.

Note:The prices and deals compiled below are accurate at the time we published this story, but all are subject to change.

Game Debuts

Dragon Quest II – ($4.99)

Square Enix is continuing the rollout of classic Quests (this time spelling the game's name correctly). Dragon Quest II's price point of five bucks is more accessible than S-E's normally lofty costs, so consider diving in here for some old-school JRPG action.

Skullduggery! – ($4.99)

A PAX 10 Indie Showcase selection from the most recent PAX Prime, Skullduggery! brings us some new, even more inventive touchscreen platforming from the makers of Little Chomp.

Reckless Racing 3 – ($4.99)

The recklessness continues in this latest installment of the top-down racing series:

I Am Dolphin – ($2.99)

Ecco the Dolphin this isn't, but if you've got kids interested in living a more porpoiseful life, spending three bucks on this swimming sim could be a good investment.

Buff Knight: RPG Runner – ($1.99)

Finally, joining the ranks of Shovel Knight and Glue Knight is Buff Knight. This runner was developed by a one-man team and stormed the tops of the sales charts in Korea, and now it's gone live here in the States.
